621.65 is what percent of 800 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 800 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 800, so we can write it down as 100%=800.
4. We know, that x% equals 621.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=621.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800
2) x%=621.65
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=800/621.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 621.65 is what percent of 800

100%/x%=800/621.65
(100/x)*x=(800/621.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2868977720582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2868977720582) to get x
100/1.2868977720582=x
77.70625=x
x=77.70625

now we have:
621.65 is 77.70625% of 800
